Another resident claimed that the police tried to cover up the event by preventing its publication. "We shall not be silent and will take the necessary steps to stop the 'price tag' acts. If they continue there will be tough consequences in the Arab sector," he said.

Police said in response, "The incident in the village of Nein occurred several days ago. The Afula police station launched an investigation and was only informed of the graffiti today."

On Tuesday, it was reported that three vehicles were set on fire near a mosque in the village of Umm al-Qutuf in Wadi Ara
and "price tag" graffiti was sprayed on the wall of the mosque alongside a Star of David and the word "Eviatar."

The graffiti likely refers to Eviatar Borovsky,
who was stabbed to death in the Tapuach Junction last month.
